Introduction

International regime:
• treaties or international organizations - tools used by
the international community to resolve global problems
through collective efforts
• more specialized arrangements that pertain to well-
defined activities, resources, or geographical areas and
often involve only some subset of the members of
international society
• They are not sub national actors or non-governmental
organizations.
• They are international actors, and sometimes, when
formally organized, many of them can be considered
intergovernmental organizations.
